How controversial are shows like Crufts and The Kennel Club? Please note - I am not discussing the American Kennel Club.

recently we have a show a little bit like that. acutally it's more like idol ... for dogs. i really don't know why but almost every new television program is very similar to idol (you know, that show where people trie to sing). we also have a 'talent hunt' or something. all these shows suck, why does anyone want to see that? why?

Every time I see these shows, I think of that movie "Best in Show" and it always makes me giggle...

Although I do love a good dog show. Border collies and King Charles spaniels are always my favorites.

Crufts is the most fucking annoying piece of shit ever. When I'm back home my local train station is Birmingham International, but it is almost impossible to drive into because the roads are swarmed with herds and herds of disgusting ratdogs.

Me too!

I love Border Collies though, they're the smartest dogs.

I've got a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I used to have two, but one died.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel to win Best In Show.

Typical whinging Brummie.

May a Newfoundland bite your left buttock.

I detest dogs in general, so the idea of applying the beauty pageants to dogs is horrible (it's already bad enough in humans) and I avoid it on the tv.

Yeah...but the thing is that the beauty pageant is not a part of Crufts. Its all about the breed...
